Lakeside Harley-Davidson has welcomed a new dealer principal. Garry Knowles may be new to the Essex dealership, but he’s certainly no stranger to the brand, having owned nine of the premium motorcycles himself.
Garry had his first motorcycle experience in 1971, but it was later – in 1995 – when he found his ‘true love’ and bought his first Harley-Davidson, a Sportster 1200 Custom XL.
Garry said: “My wife and I love Harleys – they’ve always been a huge part of our life and relationship – so much so that we even named our first daughter, Emma Harlie. If we’d had a boy we were going to call him Harley David Sam!”
In 2001, the family joined the St Tropez rally with Garry on his Harley-Davidson Road King and his wife and a two-and-a half-year-old Emma Harlie in a sidecar.
Garry is no stranger to the motorcycle dealership trade and has previous experience with seven major motorcycle manufacturers: Harley-Davidson, Triumph, Honda, Ducati, Victory, Suzuki and Kawasaki.
For more information or to meet Garry and the team please visit the dealership at: Lakeside Harley-Davidson, Lakeside Estate, Heron Way, West Thurrock, Essex RM20 3WJ, phone 01708 805 005 or visit www.lakesideharley-davidson.co.uk
